Foreword [Mediterranean Journal of Migration]

Abstract

The Mediterranean Journal of Migration is another loop in the initiatives of the relatively new and innovative Platform for Migration, set up only a few years ago, within the University of Malta. This Platform is a melange of scholars who come from diverse entities, namely Faculties, Institutes, Centres and Schools and who share a common interest in having a better understanding of the complexities surrounding migration. This Journal is an attempt at another space to converge the different angles and optics of these nuances and slowly but surely craft an understanding of the multifarious narrative and demography of what is happening. This would in turn help us predict and construe possibilities which could lead us to more effective policy making and scholarship. I am hopeful knowing well enough that the Platform and the Journal are becoming a staple contributor in this debate.
